Every Sandshrew card

The short version

Sandshrew has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Fantastical Parade. It is a Basic Fighting-type Pokémon printed at between 60 and 70 HP, weak to Grass, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to three rarities — three Commons, one Art Rare and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Crimson Blaze, at about 1 in 279 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 643 packs, which is about 11 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of eight different packs. The most recent is Sandshrew #077, from an expansion that shipped in January 2026. That printing attacks with Double Scratch for 20x. The card’s own words: “No matter how high a place it falls from, this Pokémon can save itself by rolling into a ball and bouncing.” It has been drawn by five artists.
